A Duchesne County man was arrested on May 28th following local investigation of a cyber tip from the Internet Crimes Against Children taskforce. According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, a KIK app account tied back to 24-year-old Allen Russell Miller had been used to share Child Sexual Abuse Material showing pre-pubescent children being raped, among other acts. Investigators were also able to locate a photograph that Miller had taken of himself which showed his face. The Statewide Information and Analysis Center was able to run facial recognition on the photograph and identify the individual as Allen Russell Miller of western Duchesne County. Miller was placed into custody on May 28th while at work at a Roosevelt tire store. When formally interviewed by investigators, Miller confirmed that he had sent Child Sexual Abuse Material to multiple KIK users but did not provide information as to who those individuals were. 24-year-old Allen Russell Miller is charged with 4 counts of 1st Degree Felony Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, 5 counts of 2nd Degree Felony Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, and 10 counts of 3rd Degree Felony Distributing Pornographic Material.
